• positions.csv: one row per person and issue (276 rows), with summary, score, source and date.
• howivote-2028.json: the full field, statuses, market and polling numbers, and positions with every extra source.
• changes.csv: every placement change with its date and source.

What the numbers mean

Scores run from 1 to 5 between two poles that are listed for each issue in the files. Each score is our reading of the linked source, and a blank score means we found no clear position. Market numbers are the average nomination price on Kalshi and Polymarket, and poll numbers are national primary polling averages. They decide who we cover, and they are not predictions.
